Creole wrasse (Clepticus parrae), cute when Juvi's but not too cute when it starts eating everything in your tank

whose guilty of those impulse buys lol :thrash:

Charlie I added a chiseltooth cleaner wrasse to an SPS tank lol. Don't feel bad, we all make impulse purchase mistakes lol

 

[charliethetuna88]

Ahhh man i almost did that once also ..i was told it's a new Basslett on my defense ,but it still was an impulse buy .

Charlie it will ok for about a year or so until it's big enough start eating things...LOL. Just watch those little Bellus and any shrimps you may have...it won't bother any corals. Pretty fish...we have all done it....LOL

I was reading online that it's is a platonic eat ,it swims midwater and eats real small foods ..well see like u said Mike if it annoys anything he's out

I am confident , you will take the little boy OUT, NO reason to panic now.:biggrin:
To bad , my Mother in low , she got NO tank, i will buy it for her.:biggrin:

Get him out now while it's young cause later will be harder. I have a trap if you need one

 

[Donewiththisplace]

Charlie how big is ur tank? What are his tank mates?

 

[charliethetuna88]

Tank is 400 gallons ..

 

[Donewiththisplace]

And ur worried about it outgrowing the tank??

...enjoy the fish.

It's beautiful, surely a great addition to the display.

Worry about it when it gets bigger.

 

[charliethetuna88]
